Five years ago.
Lyss was your average girl. She was kind, gentle. Wouldn’t hurt a fly. Her one and only passion was drawing (this will have a connection with Makoto later on you’ll see O= ). However, because she was a gentle individual, this made her vulnerable to attacks and insults by bullies at her school.
Her father (name unknown for now) was a scientist that worked for an underground test facility that specialized in experiments that could help society (working on this). Their newest top-secret experiment was kept under the name of “Project EDGE”(how original...). A project that could change mankind forever…

One day, disaster struck at the facility. A murder had taken place. The victim was the man in charge of the project. The suspect: Lyss’ father.

Since I’m not in the mood to do a really big, descriptive, long ass summary, here’s the long story short. Well...sorta...:

-Lyss’ father is the suspect in a murder.
-Phoenix comes to save the day.
-The murderer is not Lyss’ father, but rather a wild animal that probably broke into the facility and killed the man in charge of the project they were working on.
-Lyss idolizes Phoenix.
-Lyss’ family invites Phoenix to dinner as a thank you for winning the case.
-Lyss explains that she wants to become an artist because she wants to bring happiness to the world with her art, like her father wants to solve all the world’s problems with his experiments.
-Phoenix explains he wanted to go into art at one point.
-Lyss asks why he went into law then.
-Phoenix explains he’s looking for someone.
-He says he’s looking for his old friend Miles Edgeworth, who became a prosecutor.
-He wanted to fnd out the reason why he became a prosecutor, however he’s gone missing for about a year now.
-Lyss’ father is startled by the name of Miles Edgeworth, but he just brushes it off by saying he doesn’t know anything about him.
-Lyss is suspicious of her father.

-Phoenix becomes a close friend of the family.
-Phoenix tells Lyss that she should stand up for herself is she wants to stand up for others and that if she really wants to defend herself, she should take up either martial arts or kickboxing.

-Two years later, Phoenix asks Lyss to go with him into the city to an art museum.
-However when they're driving home in a taxi, they are attacked by a vicious animal which looks like a giant wolf.
-Phoenix tells Lyss to escape while he tries to stop the beast.
-When she does, the beast had slashed open the gas tank and the running engine. Because the sparks from the engine had mixed with the gas tank, the car exploded.

-The beast had escaped but Phoenix was severely damaged from the wolf’s attacks and the explosion.
-Phoenix is sent intensive care. The doctor explains that Phoenix had fallen into a coma and because of his severe injuries, he may not be able to pay for his medical bill.
-Lyss says she’ll pay for the bill instead.

-By doing so, Lyss decides to become a bounty hunter. This way she can capture criminals before they cause anymore damage, use the money to pay for Phoenix's operations and track down the one who attacked Phoenix.

-Three years later, she is hired as a secret agent for the Government so she could investigate mysterious occurrences and track down any suspicious characters that tend to cause damage to the community.

-Lyss then encounters Super Makoto and challenges her to a fight believing she is out to do harm.

-Lyss loses as Makoto explains she is using her powers for good like Lyss does.
However Lyss doesn't believe Makoto and still tries to stop her.

-Then Phoenix shows up. However he is not Phoenix anymore. He is now Hobocop.

-Hobocop explains that his operations were a success and that most of his body was rebuilt with cybernetic parts thanks to the money Lyss had earned.

-He also explains that now with his new gadgets he can help combat criminals and bring justice to those who deserve it.

-Hobocop tells Lyss that despite her powerful exterior, she is still that lonely sweet child inside who just wants to show the world what she’s truly made of

-Hobocop asks Lyss if she can help fight crime alongside him. She agrees as the tears began to fall down her cheeks. She turns and apologizes to Super Makoto, knowing she probably has her own burdens to bear as well.
However Makoto tells Lyss she hopes to cross paths with her again into the future.

-Later on, Lyss tells Hobocop that she’s going to investigate the secret behind Super Makoto and try to help her in the best way she can. She also says she’ll continue to be a bounty hunter and help Hobocop track down criminals.

-Hobocop asks why she wants to continue being a bounty hunter. She replies with “I’m going to need money for art college y’know.”

-As Lyss and Hobocop leave, Lyss smiles to herself knowing she and Super Makoto had one thing is common.

-Not only on the battlefield, but hopefully we will cross paths someday in the art field as well Super Makoto.

-Meanwhile, unknown to Lyss, Phoenix has another partner named The Edge.

-The Edge is a man by day and a werewolf by night. His real name is Miles Edgeworth.

-Six years ago, a detective by the name of Dick Gumshoe had informed Edgeworth about an underground facility that specialized in performing experiments that could change mankind. Curious about these experiments, Edgeworth decided to visit the facility himself.

-The new top-secret project titled ‘Project EDGE” consisted of a wolf injected with unknown substances. The scientists at the lab explained that this enhanced wolf would become the ultimate protection against evil. However, the wolf could not do it on it’s own. Instead, they needed to inject the wolf’s enhanced DNA into that of a human so that he or she could protect himself or herself from danger. Edgeworth was then strapped to a chair as the lead scientist injected the DNA into his neck.

-Edgeworth lost consciousness. He wasn’t human anymore. In his new wolf-like form, he attacked the lead scientist of the lab, killing him in result. Edgeworth escaped, knowing he had to be far away from society.

-However that didn’t stop him from the day he attacked Phoenix Wright three years ago. And yet, after being in a coma for about a year, he forgives him.

-Hobocop tells Edgeworth it wasn’t his fault for attacking him, it was the lab’s for injecting the DNA into him. However, if they brought this up to Lyss, it would mean her father and the facility he worked at, had indirectly attacked Phoenix.

-Hobocop tells Edgeworth that he’ll try to find a cure for him if he’s the last thing he does.

-Unknowest to the three of them, a raven-haired girl watches from the shadows.

History and Background:
She has no memory of the first six years of her life, due to hitting her head after her parents were murdered, and questions her past and what happened...When in reality, a jealous former friend of her mother, famed actress Hoshiko Yuuka, decided to act on her pent up rage, planning to kill the family. After mercilessly slaying Masaya Yuuka, Hotaru went to strike at Hoshiko, temporarily stalled by an attack by Kaoru and a frying pan. As a result, Hotaru planned to murder the girl next. With quick thinking from Hoshiko, Kaoru was pushed into the nearby closet, and from there she witnessed the fatal stabbing of her beloved mother. Racked with guilt, she abandoned her home, only to be found a few days later and forced into an orphanage. A short time later, she was presented with charges, despite her age; she would be tried as a juvenile. Knowing full well she didn't commit the murders, she ran from Kyoto, bringing only a small red bag...
At the age of 22, she becomes a music producer, not knowing that that was what her father once was. Late one night at her home, she is attacked, and shot. Falling from the balcony to sudden death, she blacks out as she is saved by scientist Aiga Hoshiidake, who also fuses her with mysterious moon crystals stowed in his laboratory. The result of this is The Eccentrist's loyal sidekick, Moonlight Angel. Together, they reform SUVari Corp, and eventually team up with Le Comte du Cafe Cristo.

Name/Super Name: Souryuu Kaminogi / “Le Comte du Café Cristo” / Shadow Cell
Age, Gender, Height, Occupation: 40, Male, 185 cm, Speculator
Blurb: A mysterious and wealthy figure who claims to be a count from a far-off land.
Personality: On the surface, Le Comte is polite and gallant to an unbelievable degree, playing the part of a wealthy philanthropist. Under this glistening façade, however, Le Comte is cynical and half-mad with vengeance, believing himself to be providence incarnate, a weapon used by God to reward the just and punish the wicked.
Powers/Skills: Le Comte’s skills come from his Suvari-designed electronic equipment, including such gadgets as a camouflage device, an advanced grappling hook, a gun that creates its own bullets. His visor serves at the same time to disguise him and to enhance his vision, containing such things as infrared, nightvision, zoom-in (ala Minuku), x-ray, and details about the selected individual, such as heart rate and biometrics.
Random Facts: Le Comte loves coffee, and considers it one of the few joys in life.
Friends, Family, Foes: Le Comte is somewhat friendly with most people he comes across, but the closest he has to “true” friendship in the city is with Aiga and Yuu, who he often meets with at Suvari. He also has a “relationship” of some sort with Sakai, who he worked closely with smuggling coffee for nearly ten years, and is very open and friendly with her crew. He has no living family, but his chief enemy is HoboCop, along with a few governmental agents who he believes to have helped Phoenix cover up his “crime”.
History and Background: Souryuu Kaminogi was once part of a special ops unit. The trouble began when his unit was assigned to neutralize a terrorist cell in Bolginia. The unit he was part of, led by Marvin Grossberg, also contained Mia Fey and Phoenix Wright. The trouble came about when Mia Fey was killed in action under mysterious circumstances. Souryuu was blamed for this, the government claiming that they believed him to be "directly responsible" for the accident, and found guilty of treason. Stripped of his rank, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, but escaped after five years thanks to the help from the criminal leader known as Sakai, who at the same time covered up the escape from officials. Throughout all of this, Souryuu seethed with rage, believing Phoenix to have framed him. Thirteen years later, he returned in secret, disguising his identity with a silvery mask. Having worked with Sakai's criminal organization, he made a small fortune through coffee smuggling, and used it to fashion himself a new identity, "Le Comte du Cafe Cristo". Seeking his revenge against Phoenix, (now, "HoboCop"), he worked with a small time scientist, the future Eccentrist Aiga Hoshiidake, who had recently started his own company, Suvari Corporation. Le Comte funded the rapid expansion of Suvari, with one goal in mind: to use the Eccentrist's technological genius to exact his vengeance on HoboCop. Forcing Aiga to hold back the best of his technology from the market, he used it to fashion a second, secretive identity for himself: Shadow Cell. Now, a wealthy businessman by day, armored seeker of revenge by night, his uncontrollable hatred of HoboCop drives him onwards.

Name/Super Name: Shannon Vane/Crimson Monarch

Age: 33 Gender: Female Height: 4’ 10” Occupation: Voice Actress

Blurb: Kirihito’s fiancée and a powerful mage.

Personality: Shannon is generally very reserved and even a little shy/coy at times. Sudden surprises or changes stress her out. However, she has a gentle, perhaps even loving and motherly side that only a few people really get to see. She also has a slightly twisted sense of humor.

Powers/Skills: Shannon is an accomplished mage, with mastery over the Fire and Lightning elements. She can use Indignation, a devastating lightning spell, and Passion’s Ember, a powerful fire-element spell of her own design.

Random Facts: Shannon is a major nailbiter. There’s a bit of a running gag where someone repeatedly swats her hand away when she goes to nailbite.

“Crimson Monarch” was the official title given to Shannon by Urami, but when Shannon isn’t around Urami refers to her by a different, much less grandiose name: “Red Moth.”

Shannon has an awful lot of nicknames: Crimson Monarch (her default super name), Red Moth (Urami’s name for her), Little Darling (sometimes used by Kirihito), Shan-chan (also used by Kirihito), Plush Toy (Sadistress’s name for Shannon), and SuperMidget (also coined by Sadistress).

Strangely enough, Sadistress doesn’t seem too opposed to Shannon- the two have even had friendly chats on occasion.

Friends, Family, Foes: She is Kirihito’s fiancée, but upon Shannon’s discovery of Sadistress, the two have separated. Shannon isn't too keen on Sadistress, obviously... Urami Shikabane is the one who taught her magic and sometimes acts as a mentor figure.

History and Background: Shannon Vane met Sadistress as her male alter-ego/second half/other side Kirihito Garyuu. Over time, the two developed a relationship that evolved into love. He proposed to her, and the two were engaged to be married… until Shannon met Sadistress. One day, when Shannon stopped by Kirihito’s house, she found he wasn’t there. Shortly after, Sadistress- not Kirihito- returned from a particularly unpleasant night out. Sadistress was her usual rotten self until Kirihito broke through- and told Shannon everything. Shannon decided that she couldn’t marry him unless he got rid of his rather objectionable alter-ego/second half/other side. When he couldn’t, the engagement (though not their love) was off. Unaware of Sadistress’s nature as a being, Shannon has since devoted herself to trying to exorcise Sadistress from Kirihito. She has been studying magic under the mysterious witch Urami Shikabane, who was spying on that meeting…

Name/Super Name: Kirihito Garyuu/Sadistress
Age: 32 Gender: Male/Female! Height: 6’4” Occupation: Lawyer

Blurb: A man who is the very picture of duality. Engaged to Shannon.

Personality: Kirihito Garyuu is cool, collected, and elegant- every bit the perfect gentleman. Sadistress, being a manifestation of Kirihito’s negative impulses, is very much the opposite. She is loud, dominating (of course), violent (of course again), and really a bit of a nymphomaniac (another obvious one). She gets jealous VERY easily and can really hold a grudge. Her behavior can range from mischievous to outright atrocious. She also seems to be perpetually in need of someone to take out her and Kiri's negative energy on. If she doesn't get that when she needs it, she goes totally out of control.

Powers/Skills: Kirihito himself is completely powerless- Sadistress is the one with the power. She has VERY strong physical attacks with both her hand-to-hand combat skills and her whip.

Random Facts: Sadistress’s bust size is actually variable- the more negative energy from Kirihito she has stored up, the more top-heavy she is (with a maximum and a minimum, of course). She’s got a habit of giving certain people (ex. Shannon, Kyouya/Rocktra, and Apollo) these tight hugs- but her boobs are so big that it’s really more of a boob crush than a hug. Sadistress calls them “The Boobs of Injustice”… but many others will just say they provide a legitimate risk of suffocation. There’s also a major running gag where Sadistress’s boobs stretch out whatever she’s wearing at the time and eventually bust it open (no pun intended) due to their size. Rocktra is normally the one who has to replace the ruined article of clothing.

Sadistress calls people she’s fond of “Plush Toys.” Two people who have received this dubious honor are Shannon Vane and Housuke Odoroki.

Friends, Family, Foes: Kirihito/Sadistress is Kyouya/Rocktra’s brother/sister. He/She/They is/are engaged to Shannon Vane. Sadistress is not on good terms with Odoroki/Apollo Justice.

History and Background: As Kirihito grew older, he felt something gnawing at him- an urge, one could say. He eventually realized he was slowly transforming into… well, a jealous bitch. He decided that the best way to cope with this was to push it into another personality. For some reason, this personality seemed rather feminine to him, possibly due to some of its imagined mannerisms… but he shrugged and went through with it anyway, and Sadistress was born. She didn’t physically manifest at first, but as Kirihito’s inner evil became more and more concentrated, she began to break through more and more frequently. The day she finally became a physical manifestation was the day Kirihito’s life changed forever…
Fast forward to about a year before Super Makoto takes place. Kirihito had proposed to Shannon, the only woman he felt would be able to keep Sadistress in check with her kind nature. Of course, all of his beautiful plans went up in smoke when he came home as Sadistress without knowing Shannon had paid him a visit…
As for the dynamic between Sadistress and Odoroki/Apollo Justice... Sadi tended to break out frequently when Apollo was working with Kirihito. Whenever Sadi would break out, Apollo would end up taking the brunt of her aggression. When Apollo finally tried to stop her, Sadi was none too pleased at the prospect of losing her "plush toy." This, of course, causes her to beat up Apollo even more- hence their current state of rivalry.

Age, Gender, Height, Occupation: 16ish, Female(?), 8 inches high, Mysterious Omnipresent plushie
Blurb: Created to watch over Makoto while her parents were away. Some people find it odd.
Personality: (Mysterious?) Eager to please, protective of Makoto.

Friends, Family, Foes: ...Not really applicable

Name/Super Name: Ema Skye

Age, Gender, Height*, Occupation: 25 (?), female, scientist

Blurb: Scientist working for Aiga.

Personality: Ema is a naggy, somewhat intelligent and confident woman who is moody and often complains about Aiga or her working conditions. She is only truly happy when she gets to work with anything scientific, in which case she can be very enthusiastic. Despite this she can be a nice person.

Powers/Skills: No powers, skilled at science, particularly forensic science and chemistry.

Random Facts*: Ema is fascinated by Makoto's magical plushie, and spends much of her time trying to figure out the secret behind how it works.
She snacks a lot.
She has been heard shouting "THIS IS NOT SCIENCE" when witnessing the rest of the cast's magical powers.

Friends, Family, Foes: She has an older sister named Lana. Parents are deceased. She is allies with the Edge, and is trying to use her science to figure out how to cure his werewolf condition. She's not fond of Rocktra or Apollo Justice.

History and Background: Ema spent her life being forced to do jobs she didn't like and never got to use her science to its full extent. One day after a particularly boring day of work, she discovered the scientist Aiga, who was looking for an assistant. She happily offered, ecstatic at an escape from her normal monotony and at the opportunity to spend her time with science. So passionate was she about her science that she shoved down her conscious about what exactly it was being used for, ignoring Aiga's villainous escapades to be able to have use of his extensive supplies, laboratory, and library. After she helped create Repast, however, she had to face up to what she had spent her time doing, although she stayed with Aiga partly out of fear, partly to make use of his resources to try to find a cure for the Edge, and partly out of her pure love for science.
